Death Sunday Night of Mrs. Ann

Strickland at the Home of Her

Son in This City.

Mrs. Ann E. Strickland died Sunday night after a brief illness of neuralgia of the heart at the home of Harry Striekland, her son, in this city.

Mrs. Strickland was taken sick last Wednesday but her illness apparently passed away and the family were not apprehensive of any serious result, until Sunday evening when her condition saddenly became critical.

Mrs. Strickland was the widow of Richard J. Strickland, who for many years was the proprietor of the Hancock Jeffersonian.

She was born in Devonshire, England, October 4, 1830, and came with her parents, Richard and Jane Hamlyn, to America in 1848, landing at Quebec in September. The family settled on what is now Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. In 1850 the young English girl was married to Mr. Strickland at Hillsboro, O. The young couple lived there and at Greenfield, O., until they located at Centerville, which was always their home except the twenty years they lived in this city.

When Mr. Strickland sold the Jeffersonian they returned to Centerville where his death occurred a few years later. Since her husband's death Mrs. Strickland had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Jackson, on a farm near Centerville, and with her son, Harry Strickland, in this city, at the same time keeping her old home in Centerville, where all her children were born, furnished and ready to receive her children any time they could visit her and renew as much as possible the broken family circle. She was a noble woman, one of those grand old mothers that all love and whose presence is always reverenced by any company of men and women anywhere. The welfare of her children and grandchildren was always in her thoughts and she never wearied of contributing to their comfort.

Mr. and Mrs. Strickland for a number of years were the closest neighbors of Oliver P. Morton in Centerville and the friendship then formed continued throughout their lives. During the trying times of the war Mr. Strickland was one of the Governor's stauhchest supporters and was intrusted with many state secrets of the time. Among the papers now in posession of members of the Strickland family are historical facts of of great interest, many of them unpublished.

After the death of Senator Morton and Mr. Strickland, the widows continued their intimate relations and a short time before her death Mrs. Morton sent for Mrs. Strickland to come to her Woodruff Place home and be with her once more as they used to be when they were neighbors in the Wayne county village.

Mrs. Strickland was the oldest of a family of ten children, three of whom are living, Mrs. George Golden, of Brookville; Mrs. Isaac Golden and John Hamlyn, of Acton.

She leaves five children, Mrs. Lizzie Jackson, of Centerville; Ben Strickland, of Cumberland; Mrs. Addie Chambers, Hastings, Okla., Mrs. Grace Westcott, Chicago, and Harry Strickland, this city.

Will Promote Beauty.

Women desiringjbeauty get wonderful help from Bucklen's Arnica Salve. It banishes pimples, skin eruptions, sores and boils. It makes the skin soft and velvety. It glorifies the face. Cures sore eyes, cold sores, cracked lips, chapped 'hands. Best for burns, scalds, fever sores, cuts, bruises, and piles. 25c. at M. C. Quigley's. 5

Inconsistency of Valuation. The question of the real value of sheep is being considered by some of the township trustees of the county. The assessors value sheep for taxation at $4 to $6 per head, but dogs break into flocks of sheep and kill them and the township trustees are presented with a sworn statement or appraisement setting out that the sheep are worth $10. The trustees wonder which is the correct value, wonder which is the true value of the sheep. Both valuations are required to be sworn to.

The whole trouble is in the the system. Property is not value at its real value when assessed for taxation. It should be, however, and if it were, the above inconsistent condition would not exisit. Each county, township and city has to raise a certain amount of money by taxation. It would cost no more to raise the values of prosperity and cut down the rates, and the general ^results would be much more equitable.
